Global Business Development Director
In 2024, we initiated an internal innovation project, ADAPT (Adaptive Dredging Automated Prediction Toolset) to develop a cutting-edge predictive bathymetric decision support application that went beyond current commercially available physics based modelling solutions. Purpose-built for the challenges faced by ports and waterways, we have integrated real-time monitoring data, vessel traffic patterns, and environmental inputs with advanced machine learning models to forecast sedimentation and optimise dredging cycles.
Our disruptive new data services strategically enable port managers to plan dredging exactly when and where it’s needed by predicting shoaling patterns in advance - reducing over-dredging and improving channel availability.
With predictive insights and real-time data, we can support proactive environmental management, simplify compliance, and help meet evolving regulatory and ESG commitments.
Forecasting sediment trends with real-world data allows ports to optimise 5-year dredge cycles, allocate budgets more effectively, and reduce emissions through more targeted operations.
Our AI and Data Science team are BMT's hidden gem. We're uniquely placed to combine emerging AI enabled technologies with our deep maritime domain knowledge to deliver the next leap in predictive dredging management.
Strategic Account Director, BMT
The ADAPT innovation project exemplifies our commitment to smart, data-driven maritime solutions. It integrates seamlessly with our developing ecosystem of analytics and modelling tools powered by BMT Deep, our decision intelligence platform, and TUFLOW for advanced hydrodynamic and sediment transport modelling - together forming a robust ecosystem for coastal insight and operational clarity. As ports face growing environmental and economic challenges, this connected approach positions BMT at the forefront of predictive infrastructure management and sustainable dredging strategy.
BMT Deep is our trusted data exploration and analytics platform that integrates environmental, survey, and operational data to help ports and coastal operators turn complexity into clear, actionable insights for smarter infrastructure management and advanced modelling.
TUFLOW provides accurate, physics-based modelling of sediment transport and hydrodynamics, helping ports understand dredging impacts, optimise maintenance strategies, and plan with confidence.
